Original instructions
Unpacking the Biosafety Cabinet
Carefully remove the outer carton and inspect the cabinet for damage that
may have occurred in transit. If the biosafety cabinet is damaged, notify the
delivery carrier immediately and retain the entire shipment intact for
inspection by the carrier.
Note:
United States Interstate Commerce Commission rules require that
claims be filed with the delivery carrier within fifteen (15) days of delivery.
Do not return goods without the prior authorization of Labconco.
Unauthorized returns will not be accepted.
If the cabinet was damaged in transit, you must file a claim directly with the
freight carrier. Labconco Corporation and its dealers are not responsible for
shipping damages.
Do not discard the carton or packing material for the biosafety cabinet until
all of the components have been checked, installed and tested.
The cabinet is secured to the pallet in two places on each side. To access the
nuts and bolts, remove the side panels by removing and keeping the two
Phillips screws on both panels. Swing the front of each panel away from the
cabinet, and lift it straight up to remove the panel from the cabinet.
Note:
The side panels must be removed to access the fasteners that secure the
biosafety cabinet to the pallet.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIFT THE
BIOSAFETY CABINET BY THE SIDE PANELS; DAMAGE WILL
OCCUR.
Moving and Lifting the Cabinet
Move the cabinet, attached to its pallet, by using a floor jack, or a furniture
dolly underneath the unit. DO NOT move the cabinet by tilting it onto a hand
truck. When lifting the cabinet DO NOT lift the cabinet in the middle front
area of the hull. Lifting here may bend or distort the bottom of the cabinet,
causing damage to the unit.
